Lucifer meets Dr. Linda Martin on his first investigation, beginning a sexual relationship with her, but he returns for her advice as he seeks to understand human interactions and his own emotional problems. Despite Lucifer's tendency to misinterpret her advice with humorous consequences, Linda becomes his friend and is the first human he reveals himself to.
